Heart Artery Check for Leg Artery Disease Patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special CT scan (coronary CTA with HeartFlow analysis) to look for hidden blockages in the heart arteries of people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It may help detect heart problems early so they can be treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older.
- You have leg artery disease causing pain when walking or at rest (Rutherford 3, 4, or 5) and had a successful procedure to open the leg arteries within the last 14 days.
- You are willing to have a CT scan of your heart arteries with a special analysis called HeartFlow.
- You have no known history of heart disease, heart attack, or prior heart procedures.
- You do not have severe lung disease, severe heart failure, severe irregular heartbeat, or kidney problems (GFR below 30).
- You are not allergic to contrast dye used in CT scans.

This study tests whether imaging the heart's arteries with a special CT scan can help find hidden blockages in people who just had treatment for a blocked carotid artery. It aims to prevent future heart problems.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study compares new imaging methods to see how well they work and whether they can lower costs for people with suspected coronary artery disease. It may help by using different scan approaches while keeping patient safety in mind.
This trial tests a new CT scanner (photon-counting CT) combined with a tiny camera inside the heart arteries to better see blockages. It's for people with chest pain or silent ischemia, but not for those having a big heart attack (STEMI) or with unstable conditions.
This trial compares two non-invasive ways to measure blood flow in narrowed heart arteries. If you have stable or unstable chest pain or had a heart attack more than 72 hours ago and a CT shows a moderate blockage (70-90% narrowed), you might be eligible.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
